Edit 1: Actually perhaps I should hold off with that comment until I do the update. I see there's an EP booster now.
Update: I've tried the EP booster now. It gives a nice woody crunch but not enough distortion to approach what I get from my Angry Charlie.
The Trainwreck and Cartographer sound great. The latter might be the most touch responsive model in there so far.
Really ought to go and do some work now...
Cosmo Echo is also a thing of beauty...
The update itself was a piece of piss too, best yet especially with the backup pieces for IR and global.
One thing to note though (well at least for me) the headphone out designation (I have it set to XLR for monitoring 4CM through a Bose soundlink in the house) and the main large volume knob both defaulted and didn't save my global settings - had a slight moment when I thought my amp's loop was borked!!
the Friedman BE100 is a particular voicing and gain structure that is unique to that
to be 100% honest I prefer the sound of the PT20 recorded
less scooped
you can get close with the models above but you need the ocd in as well
You pretty much have to max the mid control take off a lot of low end to hear it over a drummer (in a meaningful way.. you can always brute force it but it is overwhelming like that)
Also I was surprised at how ‘not loud’ it is
My main amp back in the day was a late 60s 100w superbass Marshall. It was fucking terrifying cranked up but the BE is a bit of a pussycat in comparison. Although the superbass was essentially a non master volume clean amp which I stuck a real tube pedal in front of
Just noticed that for the 2.30 update it says in orange text to IMPORTANT! You MUST be running Helix firmware 2.20 or higher to use full state backup and restore!
So should I update to 2.20 first, then update to 2.30?

Again, I must sound like a prick asking, but I'm always curious as to how much a company listens to their user base, it's my job as a designer.
As a Fractal user, I've not used it long enough to see a great deal of evidence of them listening to their user base either, so I'm not being biased. Although, the recent Darkglass update felt like a positive thing amongst the community and has been requested many times.
Just seeing something like the Goatkeeper, which I've never heard of (doesn't mean it's not popular), made me curiously cynical...sorry!
